surety. Bail Bonds stand accepted. Copy of RC be retained on
record. Intimation be sent to the concerned RTO not to transfer

Notice u/s. 251 Cr.P.C. explaining the substance of
the accusation has been served upon the accused today to which
she has pleaded not guilty and has claimed trial.
Statement of accused u/s. 294 Cr.P.C. has also been
recorded. In view of the statement of the accused, ld. Counsel for
the complainant has submitted that he does not wish to examine
witnesses at serial no. 2 & 3, being formal witnesses. In view of
the statement of the accused u/s. 294 Cr.P.C. and the submissions
of counsel for the complainant, witnesses at serial no. 2 & 3 are
hereby dropped from the list of witnesses furnished on behalf of
the complainant.
Ld. Counsel for the accused made an oral
application u/s. 145(2) NI Act and has sought permission of this
court to cross examine the complainant. Ld. Counsel for the
complainant has not objected to the same. Arguments heard. In
view of the submissions made, application U/s 145(2) is hereby
allowed.
Since the conclusion of the trial might take more
than 06 months and also the fact that the accused might be
sentenced for more than 01 year, accordingly, I order that the trial
-- 1 of 2 --
of this case be conducted as per the procedure laid down for trial
of summons cases.
At this stage, both parties have jointly submitted that
they wish to explore the possibility of settlement in the present
case. Accordingly, upon joint consensus, the present matter is
referred to the Mediation Cell, PHC, New Delhi for 08.05.2025
at 02:00 P.M.
Both parties are directed to remain present during
the proceedings before the Mediation Cell. This court shall be
constrained to take an adverse view if the matter is received back
as a ‘non starter’ from the mediation cell due to the non-
appearance of the parties.
Put up for the report of mediation, alternatively for
further proceedings in the present matter on 26.07.2025.
